Cool Custom LS7 Valvecovers!
Our site sponsor, ABear Motorsports ( www.abearmotorsports.com ) builds some top-quality billet valvecovers that hide the coil packs inside of them. I had them design a set of custom ones for my upcoming LS7 powered '69 Camaro SS. These should look wicked next to the CNC billet runner Beck cross-ram intake manifold that will be on the engine.





Here is the project car that this engine will be installed in:

That's a pimp piece. I'm more a fan of the real valvecovers with relocations for the coil packs.

The coils go inside of them? Thats neat! Theyre probably worth more than the remaining balance on my car though..

Nice covers Tony!! Can you take a pic of them with the tops off so I can see how the coils are held down, etc?

I could see me having a set of those down the road

Quality looks great. Not a big fan of a valve cover cover though.

It is an actual valve cover, it just has another panel that covers the coil packs. It isn't a cheap slip-over type cover, it replaces the valvecovers.

Buy the standard machine finish and send them to me for the polish work... it'll be 1/2 that price, and a flawless finish...

Nice covers... painted, polished, or **** covered. I'm envious. ~Joshua
